Examples of work include company profiling, market and industry studies, trends analysis, competitor reviews, strategy analysis, market sizing/forecasting, location assessment, due diligence support, benchmarking studies, product/service evaluation, white-paper development and thought leadership support.

 

Why do clients engage with Business Technology Labs?

 

(1) To start with, their reach is global and they use the same tools, techniques, frameworks and technologies as deployed by large research, advisory and technology firms; however, BTL has none of their high-costs and overheads.

(2) Next, from a resourcing perspective, many consulting and advisory firms, especially boutiques, are top-heavy, inverted pyramids and this translates into a need for external research and analysis support.

(3) Thirdly, BTL comes into play across clients' value chain; BTL's services are used to assist in real-life engagements, to aid in strategy and corporate development, and to support sales and marketing.

(4) And lastly, they are unique in terms of size and boutique nature whilst simultaneously being able to deliver on a range of services. Think of them as the guys who do the 'heavy lifting' while you focus on areas that 'truly' add value.
